Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned deanpeters/product-manager-skills at cfcb697f14.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to systematically explore and understand a topic or problem. It facilitates breaking down complex issues into smaller, manageable components through iterative questioning and investigation. The agent can then synthesize information gathered from various sources to form a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

When to use it

  • Market Research: To analyze customer needs and competitive landscapes for new product ideas.
  • Problem Solving: To diagnose root causes of issues by asking clarifying questions and exploring potential contributing factors.
  • Strategic Planning: To evaluate opportunities, assess risks, and develop informed strategies.
  • Learning New Concepts: To quickly grasp the fundamentals of unfamiliar topics through guided exploration.

Key capabilities

  • Iterative questioning
  • Information synthesis
  • Topic breakdown
  • Root cause analysis

Example prompts

  • "Let's use the discovery process to understand the current state of electric vehicle charging infrastructure."
  • "Can you walk me through a discovery process for identifying potential new revenue streams?"
  • “I need help understanding why our website traffic has decreased. Use the discovery process to investigate.”

Tips & gotchas

The agent's effectiveness depends on providing clear initial context and being open to exploring unexpected avenues suggested by the discovery process. It’s important to allow the agent sufficient time and access to relevant data for thorough investigation.
